Oct 31 2007Fancy Credit Card Looks Like Calculator
Innovative Card Technologies got together with eMue Technologies to come up with a credit card with a "Credit Card Embedded Authentication Device". Basically whenever you're making an internet or mobile-based transaction you have to enter your PIN into the card to receive a one-time-use authentication code to complete the deal. I'm thinking you should probably grab one of these as soon as they're available. Because while you were reading this I joined two "women over 60" themed porno sites using your credit card. Thanks for the wrinkles!

FIRST. Seems like a god idea to go with all this identity theft crap going on now. You could just be like me and keep your credit cards maxed and bank accounts empty so if they do steal your shit they get nothing but bills

Please please, just instantly ban anyone who posts 'FIRST!' when they're the first one to comment...
I don't mind you joining those websites on my card but please forward the username and password man, be fair.
